Hinds County authorities have charged a mother after she took her twin toddlers from their grandmother, who had custody.

Eric Jamal and Erin Janae Shaver, both 19 months, were living with Barbara Harris when authorities got a call around 11 a.m. Saturday that they had been taken from her home on Wakeland Drive in Raymond.

A search began for their mother, Ariel Shaver, and another woman, Kierra Zackia Robinson. The women had been driving a small silver car with the license plate covered.

Authorities issued an endangered/missing child alert for the twins.

They were located a few hours later at a home on Bailey Avenue in Jackson.
